Plot

The firm is under attack when Sean Cahill stops at nothing to get the documents on the Gillis takeover. Rachel tries to repair things with Mike.

On Mike's first day back at the firm, Harvey wants him to stop Cahill from being able to get the files on the Gillis takeover after being served a search warrant. Mike thinks he found a way after Cahill approaches him on the street, but Cahill retaliates by informing them that Logan Sanders has granted him permission to get his communication records. Louis, upon learning this, tries to make sure that what he did is not revealed. Mike still needs space from Rachel.—rcs0411@yahoo.com

With Rachel and Mike still living apart, Rachel tells Donna that she's worried about seeing him at work under these circumstances. Donna advises her to give Mike space, emphasizing the point by telling her she once slept with Harvey.

Harvey gets to work early and Jessica tries to figure out why. She knows the reason -- it's Mike's first day back.

Katrina finds Louis in the file room burying the Forstman document as far as he can in the firm's storage.

Sean Cahill serves Jessica and Harvey with a search warrant for all files related to the Gillis takeover. Jessica tells him the chances of him finding what he wants before they get to a judge is remote.

Donna welcomes Mike back to the office and shows him he now has his own office (next to Harvey's). Rachel comes up but Donna doesn't want her to say anything.

Katrina tells Mike exactly what Louis gave up in order to bring Mike back.

Harvey and Jessica have no trouble getting a judge to revoke Cahill's search warrant. After the meeting, Harvey suggests just giving Cahill what he wants. Jessica thinks that's too risky and tells Harvey to "collude with that fraud" (i.e. get with Mike) and come up with a plan to get Cahill off their backs.

Harvey shows Mike that he's now in his old office. Harvey assigns Mike the job of getting rid of Cahill. Harvey tells Mike that Jessica isn't happy he's back but thinks his getting rid of Cahill could go a long way to making her more comfortable.

Harvey smooths over Louis' ruffled feathers over Mike getting Harvey's old office and working next to Harvey.

Louis drops by Mike's office to tell Mike doesn't owe him any favors for bringing him back into the firm -- but then he wants Mike to drop whatever he's doing to help him out (until he learns Mike is working on blocking Cahill). Louis vehemently tells Mike to stick with it and exits.

Louis, worried Cahill is going to find out what he did, asks Katrina to help him cover up.

Louis visits Forstman and tells him about Cahill snooping around and about undoing their deal. Forstman's not in any jeopardy, so he doesn't care what happens to Louis or the firm. He suggests the only way Louis can protect himself is to frame Harvey for the tax evasion Louis carried out.

Rachel approaches Mike at the office. He isn't interested in talking. She suggests helping him with Cahill but he blows her off and leaves.

Cahill approaches Mike with a deal: He says if Mike brings Cahill the files on his own he'll leave his name out of it. He then reveals that he knows Mike has been staying in a hotel.

Mike tells Harvey about meeting Cahill. Mike guesses that perhaps Cahill never got authorization for that type of surveillance.

Katrina tells Louis she's buried the document. He tells her about the Forstman meeting and the offer of framing Harvey. Louis seems resigned to the fact he'll end up in prison if Cahill gets his hands on the files, but Katrina redirects their focus into helping Harvey.

Donna is upset with Rachel for going to Mike. Rachel says her situation is different than the one Donna had with Harvey. This upsets Donna, who never wants to have her one-night-stand with Harvey thrown back in her face again.

Rachel admits to Mike she lied to him about being assigned to help him with Cahill. She tells him how sorry she is; he says all he sees when he looks at her is Logan and needs more time for that image to get out of his head.

Before the hearing. Mike tells Harvey he wasn't able to get proof of Cahill not getting permission but brings a fake list of the SEC's approval list to bluff Cahill instead. It appears to work, but that doesn't matter since Cahill has a release from Logan for all correspondence between him and the firm regarding the case, which Logan agreed to in exchange for immunity.

Mike tells Louis about the deal Cahill cut with Logan. Since this doesn't include Louis and Forstman, Louis feels like he's in the clear.

Louis tells Katrina the news. He thinks this is the end of his worries and wants them to take the rest of the day off.

Mike interrupts an argument between Harvey and Jessica, about Harvey firing Logan, with a suggestion they give Cahill all of the Gillis files.

Rachel drops by Mike's hotel room. She reminds him she got over him and Tess without ever completely getting the image out of her head. She says she wants him to decide if he loves her more than he hates what she did.

Harvey and Cahill stand before the judge in his chambers, where Harvey agrees to hand over every piece of the Gillis deal. Harvey also files a malicious prosecution motion along with it, being confident there is nothing to find. Cahill nervously accepts the trade-off. The idea is that when Cahill finds nothing untoward he'll get out of the firm's hair.

Jessica meets with Mike and asks him why he came back. He says it doesn't matter why, because he's staying and the firm is where he belongs.

Katrina tells Louis about Harvey agreeing to hand over every Gillis document to Cahill. Katrina's fix is a forged document, making it look like Forstman's money never went offshore and Louis never got a piece. She points out forgery is less of a crime than what Louis did, but Louis realizes the result will hurt Harvey, meaning he's essentially framing Harvey. Katrina leaves the document on his desk and leaves. Mike swing by, sees Louis looking miserable, and asks if he's all right. Louis glumly says he is, and Mike leaves him.

Mike tells Harvey he thinks there is a problem. Based on Louis' mood changes he thinks Louis cut an illegal deal with Forstman. They put two and two together and Harvey decides he wants to find out what Louis did.

Montage: Harvey seeks Louis but finds his office empty; Mike, heading out, doubles back to Rachel's office; Louis, finding Harvey's office empty, walks into Jessica's office and says "I made a huge mistake."
